O Castelo de Guimarães começou por um mosteiro mandado construir por Mumadona Dias no século X, antes, portanto, da formação de Portugal. Como os ataques dos mouros eram frequentes decidiram construir uma muralha para proteger a comunidade e os monges que viviam no seu interior. Foi esta fortaleza que deu origem ao Castelo de Guimarães. Mais tarde, no século XII, foi neste castelo que nasceu Dom Afonso Henriques que viria a ser o primeiro rei de Portugal. Com a falta de uso o castelo foi-se degradando. Recentemente foi recuperado e classificado como Monumento Nacional. É também considerado Patrimônio Mundial pela UNESCO. Um lugar cheio de história e que foi berço de Portugal. Não é à toa que em um pedaço da muralha original tem os dizeres “Aqui nasceu Portugal”.

The Castle of Guimarães began with a monastery built by Mumadona Dias in the 10th century, before, therefore, the formation of Portugal. As the attacks of the Moors were frequent they decided to build a wall to protect the community and the monks that lived inside. It was this fort that gave origin to the Castle of Guimarães. Later, in the twelfth century, it was in this castle that Dom Afonso Henriques was born. Some years after he would become the first king of Portugal. With the lack of use the castle was degrading. Recently it was recovered and classified as National Monument. It is also considered World Heritage by UNESCO. A place full of history and that was cradle of Portugal. It is no wonder that in a piece of the original wall has the words "Here was born Portugal".

Cenica Porto Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

5/5 Excellent

"Nice place, no onsite parking, modern room. Staff was quite young and not really into customer service. Four or five mopes behind the counter most of the time, couldn’t be bothered to help. A word to the wise is sufficient!"

Hotel Jaguar Oporto - Airport to Hotel and City Center and Vice-Versa is a Free and Continuous Shuttle Service from 7AM to 8PM

5/5 Excellent

"The staff was friendly. I did not like the blanket sewn between the sheets. If you get too warm and just want sheet that was impossible. Other than that it was very nice and like everything in life I've experienced, there is usually a standout that made things even nicer. For Hotel Jaguar, that standout is Marta, the concierge. Such a lovely young lady with so much knowledge, advice and you feel her need to want to help others. She truly is a plus for this hotel. Thank you Marta and thank you Hotel Jaguar for having such a wonderful employee."
